[mhvlug] [ANNOUNCE] MHVLUG Meeting - Wednesday, May 3rd at 6 pm

[sean]

Mid Hudson Valley Linux and Open Source Users Group Follow Us MHVLUG is proud to announce our May meeting: Swift Swift is a open-source programming language for iOS, macOS, Linux, watchOS, and tvOS apps that builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate, backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an opportunity to reimagine how software development works. If you're interested in coding along during the meetup, check out this tutorial to get set up. And here is the official Swift download page that includes binaries for some Ubuntu distributions. Lightning Talks FreeCAD: A parametric modeling program. Currently looking for volunteers. Sign up if you'd like to give one. The meeting will take place at 300 Rockefeller Hall, Vassar College on Wednesday, May 3rd at 6 pm. What to Expect The meetings have a familiar cadence: setup, lightning talks, main talk, announcements, dinner. The meeting space opens up at 5pm for pre meeting general discussion, question asking, show and tell, and setup. All are welcome to join. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. We'll start the meeting with a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less on something Open Source or Linux related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. If you would like to give a lightning talk at this or a future meeting please sign up here. The main talk is typically an hour with time for questions. After the main talk we'll do announcements of upcoming events of interest to our community, and provide some time for more informal discussion, before we head off to the Palace Diner for a post meeting hang out and discussion session. The topics typically wander the entire field of geeky subjects. All meetings are free and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! For more details, including maps and directions, please see the meeting page. Please RSVP Show your support for MHVLUG by RSVPing at our Meetup Page.
